Can we trust everything we read online to be accurate?

The three articles I've read offer different information regarding gay rights and homosexual marriage. When you read an article it's important to look at the website to see if the information written is reliable and if you can trust it. The first article is written by "www.cc.org". This tells me that this is an organization; however, I know that cc stands for Christian coalition. This means that even though the writers name is at the bottom of the page, the information written in the article is firstly influenced by Christian views and by that particular coalition. That makes the article less trustworthy of being an informative article.


The other article is written by "www.usatoday.com". This is a big American newspaper, written to appeal to as many people as possible. They have to write to gays, non-gays, people who likes/dislikes gays and the people who don’t really care. They are objective. All of these factors make the newspaper more reliable than the previous webpage. The last article was written by "www.lesbianlife.about.com". I guess you can say that they are not going to have an informative article, but speak up to get their rights. The writer Kathy Belge tries to get people on her side by asking what the big deal is with gay marriage.They are probably angry or upset because they don't have the same rights. You can't trust the web text. To sum it up, I would say that the text written by "www.usatoday.com" is reliable.
